Will Cutter and Cutter Aviation have been inducted into the International Air & Space Hall of Fame at the San Diego Air & Space Museum in California.

“It truly is a humbling honour to be in the company of past inductees such as the Wright Brothers, Charles Lindbergh, Howard Hughes, Bob Hoover and Chuck Yeager, who were true pioneers that set the bar high for many generations of aviators to come,” says Cutter president and CEO Will Cutter. “We proudly share this honour with the entire Cutter family, which includes hundreds of passionate employees from Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas, all giving their best every day to serve our clients.”

Since 1963, the International Air & Space Hall of Fame has honoured the world's most significant pilots, crew members, visionaries, inventors, aerospace engineers, business leaders, preservationists, designers and space explorers.

“We're exceptionally pleased to honour this exemplary Class of 2022 because these men and women are among the most talented figures in the history of air and space,” says San Diego Air & Space Museum president and CEO Jim Kidrick.

Will Cutter has been a passionate advocate of aviation throughout his entire life. Being the third generation of his family to join Cutter Aviation, Will takes pride leading the oldest family owned and operated FBO in the world, while still staying true to its original core values of trust, integrity and respect.

Following in his grandfather's and father's footsteps, Will started flying at an early age, obtaining his pilot's licence as soon as he was able. Eager to continue the family legacy, he officially joined the family business in 1979 and over the years has worked in numerous departments, from the wash rack to sales and everything in between. Hard work, passion and dedication are not the only things that have allowed for its success, Will has put his heart into furthering the family legacy. Under his direction, Cutter has expanded from two locations to 11, having facilities spread throughout the US southwest.

Will is a member of many prominent aviation organisations and associations. When his father passed away in 2018, Will established the William R 'Bill' Cutter Memorial Scholarship at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University to honour him and help those that share his love of aviation. As of 2022, two of Will's four children, William D and Anna, have joined the company, thereby taking it into its fourth generation of family leadership, continuing the family legacy and preparing for the future.
